HIGH RISK PERSONAL SECURITY DETAIL OPERATIONS

This course builds upon the basic protective fundamentals presented in SIG’s Executive Protection Operations Course (EPOC). This course is designed for non-hostile, non-wartime environments wherein the protective detail still relies upon low profile movements, standard light skinned vehicles, and minimal personnel. However, introduced are counter ambush tactics, cover/evacuation exercises, and vehicle countermeasures for heavy and or multiple threats. Concealed or stowed rifles, subguns, and PDWs are also incorporated.

This is an advanced level class. The student needs to know and be able to demonstrate safe gun handling, weapon system familiarity, foundational marksmanship skills, and working from a holster.

DURATION: 5 DAYS
